    The Most Dangerous Games: Elevator to Another World
    Players:
    • 1 principal
    Requirements:
    • 1 building, at least 10 stories high, with an elevator. All three of these conditions must be met in order for the game to proceeds.
    Instructions:
    Venturing Out:
    1. Enter your chosen building and get into the elevator on the first floor alone. Do not proceed if anyone else is in the elevator with you.
    2. Press the button for the fourth floor.
    3. When the elevator reaches the fourth floor, do not get out. Instead, remain in the elevator and press the button for the second floor.
    4. When you reach the second floor, remain in the elevator and press the button for the sixth floor.
    5. When you reach the sixth floor, remain in the elevator and press the button for the second floor.
    6. When you reach the second floor, remain in the elevator and press the button for the tenth floor.
    7. When you reach the tenth floor, remain in the elevator and press the button for the fifth floor.
    8. When you reach the fifth floor, a young woman may enter the elevator. Do not look at her; do not speak to her. She is not what she seems.
    9. Press the button for the first floor. If the elevator begins ascending to the tenth floor instead of descending to the first, you may proceed. If the elevator descends to the first floor, exit as soon as the doors open. Do not look back. Do not speak.
    10. If you reach the tenth floor, you may either choose to get off the elevator or to stay on it. If you choose to get off, and if the woman entered the elevator on the fifth floor, she will ask you, “Where are you going?” Do NOT answer her. Do NOT look at her.
    11. You will know whether you have arrived at the Otherworld by one indication, and one indication only: The only person present in it is you.
    The Return Trip:
    If you chose to stay on the elevator at the tenth floor:
    1. Press the button for the first floor. If it doesn’t work, keep pressing it until it finally does.
    2. When the elevator reaches the first floor, exit as soon as the doors open. Do not look back. Do not speak.
    If you choose to exit the elevator at the tenth floor:
    1. You must use the same elevator to return as the one in which you arrived.
    2. When you enter the elevator, press the buttons in the same order you did in steps 2 through 8 of Venturing Out. You should finish at the fifth floor.
    3. When you reach the fifth floor, press the button for the first floor. The elevator will again begin to ascend to the tenth floor. Press any other floor’s button to cancel the ascension. You MUST press the button you use to cancel the ascension BEFORE you reach the tenth floor.
    4. After you reach the first floor, check your surroundings carefully. If anything seems off—even the smallest detail—do NOT exit the elevator. If you detect something wrong, repeat step 2 until your surroundings look as they should. Once you are confident you have returned to your own world, you may safely exit the elevator.
    Additional Notes:
    • Should you reach the Otherworld, the floor onto which you will emerge will look almost identical to the one from your own world, save for two things: All the lights will be off, and the only thing you will be able to see from the windows is a red cross in the distance.
    • Some say that electronic devices—mobile phones, cameras, MP3 players, etc.—don’t work in the Otherworld; others say they do.
    • Getting back to your own world may be more difficult than it seems: You may become disoriented and forget which elevator in which you arrived; the elevator may seem to get further and further away from you as you walk towards; and so on. Be vigilant, and keep your wits about you.
    • If at any point during the ritual you faint, pass out, or otherwise lose consciousness, you will likely wake up in your own home. However, be sure to carefully examine your surroundings upon waking—the “home” to which you have been returned may not be the one you left when you first set out to attempt this ritual.
    Concerning the Woman on the Fifth Floor:
    Do NOT speak to her.
    Do NOT look at her.
    If you do, she may decide to keep you for her own.

    And if I just stay awhile here staring at the sea, and the waves break ever closer, ever nearer to me
    I will lay down in the sand and let the ocean lead, carry me to Innisfree like pollen on the breeze

    You'll have to go back to the first floor and start over.

    I went to the roger world last night and woke up in my own bed this morning. Bizarre.

    I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

    also please don't do this at a convention, or at a hotel when there's a convention going on. especially one that doesn't have enough elevators to handle the load.
    other people would like to get back to their rooms, or to the lobby.
    if its an office building, it will probably piss off security, but then i suppose for them its part of the job.

    i did ride one once in one of my dreams, that went a long way down past the last sub basement there was a button for.
    i was the guest of someone in an official position who had the proper clearance.

    it was a bit like a journey to the center of the earth kind of place, with a couple of research stations and that sort of thing.
    even a bit of mining rail track leading away from the very bottom stop of the elevator, which took an actual couple of hours to get there.

    but it wasn't like something spooky. it was just this huge dusty hollowed out space, with its own hills and bit of landscape across the floor of it.
    it had its own kind of plants and animals, mostly small to medium sized reptiles, living there.

    nothing too big to hide behind the scattered scrub and few screaggly trees though.
    i suppose some of them could have been poisonous or something,
    but still just ordinary for that place, no more threatening then normal creatures anywhere.

    not sure what the research was studying. probably the biology there.

    i do remember reading a story, i think it may have been mack reynolds, back in the 70s some time. the first floor was stores and the second a mix of stores and officies.

    the third floor was completely empty, the elevator didn't stop there, and it didn't have any partitions or anything. maybe there were a couple of floors like that.

    the fourth through the sixtyith or seventyith, whatever it was, it was much taller condo tower then just ten floors, were apartments people occasionally went missing from. above the top floor the elevator stopped at, there was a false ceiling, and above that there lived this shape changing very large spider, with her daughter or assistent or something.

    there were the mostly normal couple of basements too, for shipping and receiving and storage.
    deliveries for the stores and resteraunts and such.

    there was something about a mix up with salad oil and cooking oil.
    and the new manager had to go investigate.

    What if someone enters during your sequence?

    I'd be really scared to try it. I first want to doubt that it would work but...it's like Bloody Mary. Never done it...never will.
